In order to provide enterprise-grade online video conferencing to everyone, we announced a no-cost version of Google Meet in May 2020. We announced in 2019 that we would be migrating all classic Hangouts users to the new Meet and Chat products. You should be visiting chrome://apps and edge://apps pages in respective browsers to configure that option. Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat were rebranded to Google Meet and Google Chat in April 2020. The ability to load App when you sign in to a computer is available to all web apps installed in Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. Right-click on Google Chat and select “Start App when you sign in”.Head to edge://apps page or click on menu icon > Apps > Manage Apps.You can install App by clicking the icon in the location bar also. Follow the above steps from 1 to 2, when the “Try chat desktop app” notification appears click “install”.You need to toggle that option to run or stop any App from opening at startup.
If you don’t want this happening, right-click on App and uncheck” Start app when you sign in”. Note: You should be using Chrome 73 or higher, before running the Google Chat standalone app on your computer:Īfter this, at the next start of the system, the Chat Standalone App window opens on its own.ĭo note, the above feature does not work on Chrome OS.
